Ingredients

• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained

• ½ cup breadcrumbs or oat flour

• 1 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tsp cumin

• ½ tsp smoked paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for pan-frying)

Directions

• In a bowl, mash the black beans with a fork until mostly smooth with some texture remaining.

  

• Add onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing well until the mixture holds together.

• Shape the mixture into 4 patties. If the mixture feels too soft, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to firm up.

• Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add olive oil (if using) and cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden and firm.

  

• Serve on buns with your favorite toppings like lettuce, tomato, avocado, and sauce.
